The following post concerns a database error. I couldn't find the relevant thread, so, considering this change is fairly objective, I figured I'd post it here.

I don't know how widespread this problem is, and it may be limited to this one instance, but Metagross both lacks Stealth Rock on its "moves" page and is not listed under Stealth Rock's recipients. Evidence: 12

Edit: And obviously, Metagross gets the move. One of its sets is titled "Stealth Rock", and Metagross was well-known as a Stealth Rock setter in 4th gen.

Edit2: OK, the error is not confined to a single Pokémon. The Pokémon not on the Stealth Rock list who do in fact learn the move (This list is not necessarily complete by any means):

@Fizz
The list of Pokemon that can learn Stealth Rock in the Black and White page apparently only include Pokemon that can learn the move in-game. With Metagross and those other examples, you can teach them Stealth Rock in the fourth generation games and then migrate them over to the fifth generation games. However, they can't learn Stealth Rock in the fifth generation games, so they aren't on that list.

Understood. But was this intentional? I suppose I can understand why Pokémon who only learn it in 4th gen wouldn't be listed for in-game purposes, but Smogon is first and foremost a competitive community, and it seems ludicrous that when I go to the Stealth Rock page to see which Pokémon can set it up, I'm met with an impartial list. Especially when Metagross, for instance, has a set called "Stealth Rock" but doesn't show up on the list.

How is this in any way advantageous? Smogon's move lists are now at the very least incredibly confusing (with examples such as the above or Seismic Toss being listed on Blissey's analysis but not her "moves" page), and are likely now effectively useless to a competitive battler.

The current Move Dex only lists the moves they can learn in Gen 5. It does not list tutor/event moves from Gen VI or III.

Why is this though? As has been said before, Smogon is first and foremost a competitive community; if people wanted to know what Pokemon learns what move from just one specific generation then they can look at sites like this and this for that information. If the moderators have a reason for this not being so, then all these complaints about certain Pokemon not having a certain move can be eliminated.

While we're on the note of moves from a previous generation, though, let's talk about GenIII learnsets (I'm not sure if this has already been called to attention, so forgive me if it has). Through Pal Park, Pokemon which learned a TM or tutor move from the third generation could be transfered over to the fourth generation. Thus, even if a Pokemon didn't learn a move in the fourth generation, it could still have the move even in the fifth generation if it learned it in the third generation.

That's because it's under the NFE tag. Our Strategydex only lists analyses for those fully evolved Pokemon and some NFEs that are usable in some tier, and most middle evolutions such as Vibrava are so bad that they aren't even usable in NU.

There is a message under "Pokemon" on the Strategydex page that says "Change your preferences here." Click the here and you'll be taken to this page and from there you can change the tier threshold from Limbo to NFE.

On the counter set, it lists: Softboiled / Wish as a move, but since wish was an event move, and counter is an egg move, I'm pretty sure she can't have both in the same set. Right?

Counter was also a 3rd Gen Tutor attack and is legal with Wish.

Edit: This is also pretty silly and minor, but Gligar and Gliscor are missing Dream Eater from their 4th and 5th gen movepools. They could learn the attack by tutor in FRLGE, but lost the ability to learn it by TM in later gens, a lot like the way Qwilfish learns Swords Dance.

Herdier and Victini are listed as receiving the move. Moreover, they are listed as the only Pokémon to receive the move.

Edit: I set the tier threshold to NFE (if that makes a difference), and I now realize that the problem isn't limited to Volt Switch. For instance, Sucker Punch is listed as being learned by Emboar and Serperior, Hidden Power by literally five Pokémon, and Leech Seed by Liepard.

There are a lot of errors with hydreigon's movepool in the strategydex. It says he gets recover and future sight (pretty sure he doesn't get these). In addition to this, he's missing a ton of his moves. Forgot to say it also says he gets hammer arm. Fairly certain he doesn't get that either.

The whole Database for 5th gen seems to be fucked up at the moment there are also a lot pokeon who have absolutly no moves listed in their 5th gen move list.
